  • in 2024 Dutch poet Martijn Benders took it on himself to try become a toaster for his Reggaeband Berry Lee Berry & the Benders. He will write a number of poems for the occasion, this is one of them. This is the full text:
    The poet is a stone cold ear-win
    that hears how the stones wing-sing.
    he feels the ringing mountains rest on the eye
    his words are no reply but a ripple
    Of the simple-triple-dipple of death on the nipple
    On his chest the forest gently falls asleep
    and his blood sinks in his lip-ships
    tipping over from the waves of sleep.
    The poet is a refuge-redeemer
    bringing peace to the sheen of subterfuge
    of devil-gleams of fishes rouging around
    on the mirror of the moonlit ocean ground.
    [chorus]
    The youthfulness of his heart is not a shore
    where the sea charges with its whitecaps, o hoooo
    where the sea charges with its deathcaps, oooooo
    His youthfulness is not a shore,
    not a sure, not a sore,
    not a poe-ring-thing of watting stones.
    Nooooooooooo.
    [verse 2]
    I bellow sweetly at my creatures
    that are suspicious futures hutting
    against the cities of men. I bellow
    like a jasmine-whale in Babbaree,
    babbadeja, flower computers,
    bee dee jay, dada pollen-looters
    you fight the war and lose the battle
    because the clappety polluters
    of the future yellow futures
    are puting your words
    into the dead hearts of still births.
    I show the foe-flow of the poet, so
    I blacken space with your life
    already eaten by love.

    [verse 3]
    You ask me: what is a poet?
    I ask you: what is a question?
    A quest for the zioned land
    of the past, that keeps swarming
    like a pest without rest
    global warming, so-well-farming,
    sour-welling to the garden
    of diddely-death? Forget the breath
    of books where the sun takes orders
    from the darkly hooks of poetry.
    Forget and be free, my friend.
    Don’t prison the who-is-dom in gourds of words
    that don’t belong in you
    for I see the bad herders
    coming from afar
    with their songless eyes of war.

    I'm literally the first person TH-cam decided to recommend this to.
    I don't know why, I don't know how, but I like it.

      I think that's one of the angles of the craft, to make stuff people like that is outside of 'the reason why' :)

      I looked into your content a little.
      I have to say, I'm in absolute love with Das F des Winterschlaf.
      Can't wait to delve deeper. Thank you for existing!

      @@martinusbenders Could you share a text for Das F des Winterschlaf teil 1? Neither Dutch, nor German are in my arsenal of languages, so I understand like 10% of it, and I'd like to understand more via translation :)
      UPD: I'll translate it myself, that wasn't clear in the original message
